Ap- pearing in summer, this disease enters through the root system. Lt seems to favor turf that has a layer of thatch in which to incubate its spoures. t first appears as patches, usually fifteen to thirty centimetres with distinct frog-eye effect due to tufts or green grass in the centre of each brown patch.

We have been reluctant to verbalize thé issue on ACID RAIN and there is no 0F- FICIAL proof of its affects on Our environment. (Similar to Smoking and Cancer). We do know that when the soiu becomes acidic the food elements become locked up and are no longer available to the roots of plants. Acid ramn and other pollutants may not be the primary cause of STRESS, we should also not dismiss drought, floodings. J' ICare. extreme temperature fluc- tuations, nutrient deficien- cy, physical injury and transplanting shock. Prolonged stress usually increases disease suscep- tability in plants at almost, anytime. Tree Injection Treatment - Not ail injuries to trees are caused by insects or disease organisms. In fact, many insect or disease problems have their begin- nings with some other form of stress in the tree host. Proper diagnosis, con- sultation with the client and treatment of sick or dying trees require the expertise of a qualified arborist. As specialists in this field, we charge for diagnosing trees with an additional charge for any treatment done. We do not charge a diagnostic fee if someone calîs who is presently one of our clients, unless there are a great number of trees in- volved requiring con- siderable time and special research.
